|
|
one of these days in the summer heat
|
|||
|
|
your sweet sugar will rot my teeth
|
|||
|
|
planting a seed inside my chest
|
|||
|
|
and growing a candy cane forest
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
the last I remember of you
|
|||
|
|
your skin felt like peppermint stew
|
|||
|
|
with a dash of cotton candy here and there
|
|||
|
|
leaving finely spun strands everywhere
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
every night for my dessert
|
|||
|
|
you’d melt into me along with the hurt
|
|||
|
|
like you dumped sour worms into my wounds
|
|||
|
|
the chocolate bubbling on the stove will be ready soon
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
your presence won’t disappear from this house
|
|||
|
|
like the licorice stolen by that one mouse
|
|||
|
|
sticky blue handprints left on the walls
|
|||
|
|
elongating as my “lollipop” falls
|
|||
